Wow, this episode turned more tense than I had thought especially for the first few minutes. The music brings out a bit of the dramatic effect too.

We got the return of the dragon girl!

Somehow the part after ED was more interesting than the main one. Like all they did there is running while dragon girl was sick and nothing really happened. After ED they showed at least a bit of emotional conflict and the interactions between girls were nice.

Anyhow, it wasn't anything special, just cute.

Well that seems rushed AF, the whole first part could be easy a 2-4 episodes story but with all that running scenes it was more like something straight from Darude - Sandstorm video clip...

Man, what took it sooo long.....

WTF, all that effort by the students and that Teacher of treating Grea and all that chaos done by Anne was all for nothing since Gera was just molting?????????


Man, they should have placed it were Grea and anne were having sex.

Wouldn't mind if this entire show is just Grea getting consequently hotter by the episode. Playing with your girlfriend's dead skin is kind of nasty though.

I will laugh if this ship baiting sells more copies than Citrus or even Bloom into you. The lack of a canon and a popular franchise clearly have good sales.

This anime is really trying to convert people to become scalies if they aren't scalies already.

Anyway, the yuri-bait is still nice tough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You will be surprised how many people are ready to watch the show solely for the sake of ship baiting. I even saw a man who drop Gridman just because Akane and Rikka did not become a couple.

Finally a second episode in such a long time for ME.

Molting made sexy, it was a molting fetish from the creator. Did she just complained about the size of her tail? O my word the sexual weirdness in this series is on some Thanos level.

I'm serious. It became not even an ideology, but practically a religion, which sometimes differs from fundamentalism only in the absence of violence and bearded men with guns.

It's pretty sad when an episode of a short feels too long and drawn out. Overall pointless, but the last bit was kind of cute I guess.. The first episode was better.

Well, it's interesting... the art is nice, the music is nice, and the girls are hella gay, but the pacing is really odd. It's one of those anime where I wonder if the screenplay writer just doesn't really get how to make things entirely sensible for first-time viewers or if they're just trying to pack too much into one thing because of pressure from a producer or source author.

The post-ED part was actually more of a concrete, understandable story with actual character development and it was only a couple minutes long... anyway, I like Grea and Anne, so I'll keep watching to see how things unfold...

Safe to say this series exists for the sole purpose of fanservice with one character. I guess the creators of the Bahamut games/anime series just wanted to keep relevant.

Thank God that Grea is out of danger.
Poor Anne was very worried to see her dear friend suffering, but she decided to look for a cure to what Grea had and her quest was quite busy, but in the end Grea was in the process of changing skin and Wow ... Grea was already beautiful, but now she is spectacularly beautiful and her sex appeal went up several points, plus Grea with long hair looks 10/10. Anne is relieved to see that Grea is healthy, she makes her notice her new body and she was taking a secret memory of her friend, but Grea notices it and very embarrassed she says to Anne silly, Grea 2.0 blushed is very cute and adorable.
Then we see Grea who seems to have a big problem, her tail grew and that makes her feel uncomfortable, so we see our beautiful dragon use several methods to thin her tail, which in the end do not turn out (with her fanservice included).
In the end Grea is aware of her tail and is alert to everything, but Anne notes that her tail grew and this depressed poor Grea.

This is a pure fanservice, even if you do not ship them, you can always watch it as a regular fantasy slice of life with a relaxing atmosphere.

Well right, but my issue is that the show flip flops; I went in expecting a relaxing slice of life where I could ship the girls together, and so far both episodes have had these tone shifts that are a bit confusing. Until the Post-ED part, that is, which is the kind of consistent tone I'd like the whole show to have since it seems to do that well.

I'm just analyzing why I felt how I felt about the episode though, not really nitpicking. I thought both episodes were paced a little too fast, and I think that might be a recurring problem, but it's not a train wreck or anything and I think I'll still enjoy it :D

So this episode basically confirmed to me that Manaria Friends is just being used to showcase Cygames Studios animation department on what they're able to do. They can produce some stunning looking shit. Great effects, nice backgrounds and compositions (loved that running with the camera behind the pillars) but other than that, that's it. This whole episode felt pointless, no explanation as to why she was going to the lake tablet, plot solved itself without outside forces helping. And last episode was also just a bummer with how rushed everything is. I'm familiar with these characters but still.

I'm sad cause I was looking forward to this but I'm dropping it.

Hopefully, there are no bad side effects on all the "cures" they used on her.

Because it is a yuri bait, designed to attract yuri fans. The hundreds of “definitely yuri” animes are in fact just baiting.

Well, maybe the show just has a slow start and the next episode will actually get into something of substa- aaaaand we're starting with a sex bait and switch.

3/10 for being so lacking in substance and pandering that it felt insulting. Would be lower if the art wasn't impressive.
